Do u have bent rims? Maybe the balance machine they have isn't any good.

rotate the tires front to back and see if the vibration moves around. Maybe you got a bad tire, take it to a place that has a balancing machine that can simulate road load. also double check all your lugs. finally, swap the stock tires on and see if the vibration goes away.... then go back and swap in a pair of wheels at a time on the front axle and see which pair causes the vibration. then take off one and replace it with a stock one. if the vibration goes away, then that's the bad one... see if they can replace the tire for you or whatever.
